Cosmetic Procedures
cosmetic

  • Browlift – Minimizes forehead creases, drooping eyebrows, hooding over eyes, furrowed forehead and frown lines by removing excess tissue, altering muscles and tightening the forehead skin.
    • Endoscopic (minimally invasive) – Uses fewer incisions than the traditional brow lift.
    • Temporal browlift – Uses an incision in the scalp adjacent to the temple.
  • Cheek or facial implants – Changes the basic shape and balance of the face using carefully shaped implants to add prominence to cheekbones, build up a receding chin, or reshape the jaw line.
  • Chin augmentation – Uses carefully shaped implants to build up and reshape a receding chin, providing more balanced facial features.
  • Eye rejuvenation (blepharoplasty) – Corrects drooping upper and/or lower eyelids and puffy bags below the eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the eyelids for a more refreshed, youthful and alert appearance.
  • Face and neck lift – Improves sagging facial skin, jowls, and loose neck skin by removing excess fat, tightening the muscles, and re-draping the skin.
  • Facial rejuvenation (face lift procedures) – Improves the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat on the face, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin on the face and neck.
  • Fat injections – Excess fat cells are removed from the body and re-implanted to other locations where more fullness is desired, including the lips, nasolabial folds (mouth to nose folds), under eyes, cheeks, chin and temples.
  • Hair restoration with follicular micrografts – Fills in balding areas with a patient's own hair. Works best on men with male pattern baldness after hair loss has stopped.

  • Midface rejuvenation/lift procedures – Pulls up and suspends the soft tissue of the cheeks, restoring cheek volume and creating a more youthful midface contours.
  • Neck contouring – Removes excess fat under the chin and in the neck area and tightens the neck muscle for a more youthful, attractive neck contour.
  • Nose surgery, cosmetic (rhinoplasty) – Reshapes the nose by reducing or increasing its size, removing a hump, changing the shape of the tip or bridge of the nose, narrowing the span of nostrils, or changing the angle between the nose and upper lip.
  • Nose surgery, functional (rhinoplasticy) – Relieves breathing problems.
  • Otoplasty (ear surgery) – Repositions prominent ears closer to the head, or reduces the size of large ears. Most often performed on children between the ages of 4 and 14.
  • Removal of benign or malignant lesions – Removes growths on the skin while minimizing scarring.
  • Scar revision – Improves the appearance of a scar by relocating it or minimizing its prominence; can also improve movement diminished by scarring.
